Two of our friends, Destiny & Gimpmode, have branded themselves with one of our graphics, the Nokahoma skull. I don’t think either of them knew that the other had one but they both look amazing. Thanks for the support guys.
BTW If you want to see @Gimpmode Nokahoma tat up close, He’ll be playing at Slice this Saturday from 9PM - 3 AM with other great local DJ’s like Klever, Distal, Trench, Ricky Raw and special guest DJ Vaccine.
@EvanHawkins shows off the Process x Graveyard tee

The Standard and Process families are a very close and often times it’s hard to tell who’s on what side of the fence. This collaboration has been a long time coming and it pays tribute to the place we’ve spent countless hours debating sports, making fun of each other, and making ridiculous bets.
Starting on Thursday, August 26th, we’ll be printing this “1841 Peachtree” graphic to tribute the boys club that has developed over the years out of Standard’s original location.
Standard x Process Process Print Shop Hours:
-Thursday August 26th: 7 to 9pm

On day 2 of the World Basketball Festival events at Rucker Park, Kobe Bryant came out to teach during a Chainlink Fundamentals practice. Chainlink Fundamentals seeks to provide top-notch coaching to any and every kid that comes to their program. And most importantly, free of charge in comparison to other skill camps or clinics that may cost hundreds of dollars that inner-city families just don’t have. Students stopped in their tracks as Kobe made a guest appearance that they were not expecting. Kobe stuck around for the rest of the training session to provide instruction and encouragement to the kids.

Charlie Denson, Jerry Colangelo, and Mike Kryrzewski field questions about WBF and Team USA.
“They put a basketball court in Radio City?!?” was my first reaction upon walking into the World Basketball Festival Community Dedication at the historic Radio City Music Hall in Rockefeller Center.

The Dirty South Crunkball All-Stars won the Beat Brooklyn International Kickball Tournament last Saturday in Brooklyn, NY. What makes the victory even sweeter is how they are proudly wearing the shirts we designed for them last month. Can we attribute this win to the confidence they felt in their threads? Maybe?
Keep a look out, we might have some DSCA shirts available for sale in the Process online boutique in the coming weeks.
As a continuation of our coverage on Nike SPARQ Training (where I skinned my knee in May), we spent a few days last week covering the SPARQ Rating National Championship in Beaverton, Oregon on Nike’s campus.

Nike Basketball has partnered with Aston Martin to introduce the Nike Kobe Bryant (Aston Martin Edition) footwear pack at STAPLES Center. It started with the viral web video of Kobe Bryant jumping over an Aston Martin DB9, and was fueled by consumer demand that resulted in this high magnitude collaboration between Nike Basketball and the luxury sports car manufacturer.
Aston Martin-inspired colorways of the Zoom Kobe V and Nike Hyperdunk DB9 were available for sale to a select number of Kobe fans. Paying astute attention to detail, the lining in the Hyperdunk DB9’s were cut made from the same leather from the interior of the Aston Martin DB9. That puts it over-the-top for me!
